This site seems OK, but the discounts are kinda low for some cards. The coupon code is a nice addition though.

I have personally used PlasticJungle.com and CardPool.com, and GiftCardGranny.com does a decent job of aggregating a number of these sites. The biggest concern with all of this is fraud. Although I have spent a lot of money on plastic jungle, they have very poor customer service, and their policy only states that they cover up to $1000 per user. My only problem with them has been a single card I bought, which worked for the first purchase I made, but was marked as fraud when I went to use it for the remaining balance - Im still waiting to hear from both PJ and the retailer as to what is going on.

I much prefer the model of Plastic Jungle and Cardpool, where the seller ships the cards to the company, and they vet it before shipping it out to the buyer.

Of the two, even though Cardpool is backed by a smaller parent company, I find them to be more professional and less unreasonable in their rates to both buyers as well as sellers.

Also, Land's End gift cards are at a 20% discount at Chase Rewards. They've been discounted there for at least 2 months.

I much rather choose what I want to sell my gift cards for and take a gamble rather than work with someone like plastic jungle or cardpool that offer 50-60% on most brands. Plus get a 100% money back guarantee, regardless of the amount. I've used them for some JC Penney GC's and have had a great experience. Awesome customer service and no problems whatsoever. Reminds me of Stubhub but for gift cards, no reason to ship to a company, just takes longer to process, its 2012.

A problem if you don't carry a Chase Rewards card and/or don't have points accrued. Otherwise, yes, this is an easier deal.

Discover Card's redemption is also 20% off. Been that was for a long time.

Should, yes. But doesn't.

10% upfront fee, plus $1.75 per card. This translates to ~12% on a $100 card, and gets higher with smaller balances. Add the discount being given to the buyer, you are batter off using the other two as a seller.

Or just compare your options whenever you are ready to buy/sell,

Reminds me more of Cardilly where new members were signing up to vouch for the site, as shills for Cardilly, of course. Sharing your faith in numerology is a nice touch, lol.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for the order to complete? I received my processing email two days ago and nothing since.

The called me a day after the initial email confirmation to "confirm" my order by phone. Charge has been sitting on my discover since I placed order online. These sites are often pretty flaky, so if I don't see something in the mail real soon, I'll just whack them over the head with a dispute.
